To the Editor: Readers depressed by Sanford Thatcher's report on
the state of academic publishing ("Scholarly Monographs May Be the
Ultimate Victims of the Upheavals in Trade Publishing," Opinion,

among university presses, there remain several well-established,
for-profit publishers, here and abroad, who welcome the academic
monograph. Garland Publishing Inc. is one of them.
